INTERTEXTUALITY IN ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN LITERARY WORKS

Abstract

Abstract. This article explores the phenomenon of intertextuality in English and Russian literary works from a comparative perspective. It examines how intertextual elements such as allusions, quotations, and parody function within different cultural and literary traditions. The study analyzes the stylistic and semantic roles of intertextuality in selected texts and highlights its importance in shaping meaning and reader interpretation. Special attention is given to the challenges of translating intertextual references across languages and cultures. The findings demonstrate that, despite cultural differences, intertextuality serves as a universal mechanism for enriching literary discourse and connecting texts within a broader cultural context.
